somebody can do this. >> jon: a world war ii veteran brutally beaten and left for dead. >> he didn't deserve to die like that. >> cops say the suspects are teenagers. and a raging wildfire three times the size of san francisco. threatening a national park and thousands of homes. i'm jon scott in for shepard smith. guilty on all counts. that's the verdict confessed gunman in the fort hood massacre. now major nidal hasan is face the death penalty. the jury took less than seven hours to convict hasan of killing 13 people and trying to kill dozens more in the shooting rampage almost four years ago. some survivors are still recovering from serious wounds. and some took the stand to testify against the man who shot them. hasan is acting as his own lawyer. but he did not

cross-examine his victims. today a police officer who was shot three times when she helped take down hasan sent this reaction via twitter, quote: so overwhelmed with joy and tears. god bless the victims in their strength. casey stegall live at fort hood now casey? >> yeah, jon, when the verdict came down this afternoon. family members inside that courtroom cried and hugged each other. this is a day they have been waiting for for more than four years. at the same time, the murderer, 42-year-old nidal hasan tugged at his beard and stared down at the table. zero emotion as his fate was being read. the 13 member panel was unanimous on all 45 charges and it will be up to the same group of people whether hasan lives or dies for the crime. sentencing will start first thing monday morning where we will hear emotional testimony from those who lost loved ones in this massacre. we will likely hear from hasan as well jon?

>> a lawyer for one of the victims is calling on the federal government to now declare the massacre an act of terrorism. the feds have labeled it work place violence. that means the survivors do not get the same as combat victims and victims are not he will i didn't believe eligible for the purple heart. calling him a terrorist would have jeopardized the trial. the jurors could argue the government had already found him guilty. another military jury just sentenced a u.s. soldier to life to prison without parole for another massacre. the murders of 16 afghan villagers most of them women and children. sergeant robert bales pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. only other option was life with the chance of parole after 20 years. prosecutors said bales wiped out generations when he went on a killing spree last year going house to house shooting people in their homes. some of them as they slept

some flew from afghanistan to washington. one man lost 11 relatives at the rampage. one dead. a pile of burning bodies. bales was on his fourth deployment at the time. the defense claimed he suffered a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. bales says is he truly sorry for the massacre. calling it an act of cowardice that he cannot explain. he says he thinks of the victims every time he looks at his own two children. we have already reported this week on the teenagers who police say killed a man out of bother dom. now we are hearing of another case of a seemingly random attack from teens. this times the victim was an 8 will-year-old veteran of world war ii. his name was delbert belton. friends called him shorty. he they say he took a bullet to his leg in the infamous battle of okinawa which left thousands dead. shorty helped him get out

from unemployment. even offering him a car. >> delbert like really did, it seems trivial like he really did save my life. he made it possible for me to get a job and find work. he wasn't just migrate uncle he was a great person. he didn't deserve to die like that. >> police say two teens beat him to death outside allege eagles lodge in spokane washington. belton had been waiting for another friend because he didn't want her to walk home alone. now one suspect is under arrest but another is still on the loose. dan springer is live in seattle. dan? >> yeah, jon. we are learning a lot more about the suspect. both are 16-year-old who's had already been convicted of assault as jiewnchs. police arrested demeet tris glen last night at 8:00 shortly after releasing this picture captured by a security camera. they are still looking for keenan adams kennard still seen ton this wanted poster. barely old enough to drive.

both facing first degree robbery and murder and most certainly be tried as adults. 8-year-old delbert belton was waiting in his car for a friend when the teenager started beating him in the head as they robbed him. >> it does appear random. he was in the parking lot. it appears that he was assaulted in the parking lot. and there was no indication of any sort of -- that he would have known these people prior to the assault. >> shorty survived the night but then died thursday morning. friends and family described the world war ii vet as tough. but also kind and generous. there is already a makeshift memorial in the lot where he was killed. jon? >> dan springer, thanks. >> a fox urgent now. san diego mayor bob filner has agreed to resign a week from today. and he just made an emotional speech apologizing to the city and as he put it, to the women he offended. but he also denied sexually harassing anyone and called himself the victim of a lynch mob. 18 women have accused filner of sexual harassment.

and a former aid is suing him. as a reminder, here is just some of what they say he did to them. >> he tried to move my face towards his to kiss me. >> he touched me, actually groped me on my back side inappropriately. >> i pointed out that he had asked me to work without my underwear on. >> he proceeded to slide his arm down and then give a little grab to my darier. >> and i turned and he just slobbered down my chin. >> but some people defended filner at the city council hearing today. william la jeunesse live in our west coast newsroom. william? >> well, jon, you know the overwhelming majority of san diego residents wanted him out of office. how he left. filner resigned at the end of next week effectively. he also he resigned in protest, blaming the city council, calling them a leverage mob so to speak.

he did apologize to the city saying he took responsibility for his actions. he apologized to his former fiancee. said he loved her. then he apologized to the women he offended. blaming his personal awkwardness and huber russ. but he said at no time have allegations been proven against him. then he hit the city council with both barrels. none of the allegations again, he said, have been independently verified. and he blamed the city council for feeding a lynch mob mentality and said they would pay for it. >> when my children me where were you when the public lynching of mayor filner took place, i will tell them i was not an accessory. i stood on the side of the man, bob filner who has stood on the side of us for 40 years. >> city council considered the settlement. after 18 women accused him of sexual misconduct. grabbing, groping, open

mouth kissing. demanding sexual favors. one filed a lawsuit. filner has bargaining with the opening chip he had left. his office. key go out publicly, painfully, and a recall process? or would he resign quickly and let the city legal bills which that is being explained to the public right now. the city will probably cover or some of his legal bills as well as any damages he faces from those lawsuits it will not apply to any criminal charges, jon. that is being described right now. an election will be held. a special election in 90 days to choose his replacement. jon? >> jon: william la jeunesse, thank you. america needs to pay attention to those reports of a massive and deadly chemical weapons attack in syria. that's the word from president obama. but he also explained why it could hurt us big time if the u.s. gets too involved. plus, a grim milestone on the number of child refugees now trying to escape that bloody civil war. that's still ahead on "the fox report."

president obama making clear is he in no rush to get the u.s. military involved in syria's 2-year-old civil war even amid mounting claims the syrian government again used chemical weapons against its own people the situation in syria is very difficult. and the notion that the u.s. can somehow solve what is a sectarian, complexed problem inside of syria sometimes is overstated. >> but delay can be deadly, right, mr. president. >> there is no doubt that when you start seeing chemical weapons used on a large scale, and, again, we're still gathering information about this particular event, but it is very troublesome. >> jon: white house officials say there was a high level meeting yesterday to discuss america's options. of course, all this is unfolding as the president wraps up a two-day bus tour through new york and pennsylvania to talk about his plans for the economy. ed henry is traveling with the president. is he in scranton,

pennsylvania now. ed? >> well, jon, you are right. this bus tour was supposed to been all about domestic issues. on the international stage the president facing a credibility test. one week ago this week that he drew that red line on chemical weapons in sara i can'tenned a promised there would be enormous consequences if syria crossed that red line. now that it has been crossed several times and possibly yet again this week with a massive chemical attack that killed up to 1800 people. is he under pressure to act in that cnn interview that you referred to the president lashed out at syria over this alleged evidence toid he is still come in. stopped short of saying he would use military action leading to conservatives to charge that he is doddling. take a listen. >> jumping in to stuff that does not turn out well. gets us mired in very difficult situations. can result in us being drawn in to very expensive, difficult, costly interventions that actually breed more resentment in

the region. we have to think through strategically what's going to be in our long-term national interest even as we work cooperatively internationally to do everything we can to put pressure on those who would kill innocent civilians. >> the policy is focused around not getting involved so far 100,000 dead mostly killed by bullets or whistles. hard to say how 1,000 or couple hundred dead from a chemical weapon while deplorable would impact his calculus. >> now, what's next? the president has already ruled out u.s. ground troops in sara i can't. but i'm told that that high level meeting at the white house yesterday that you mentioned one option that is being discussed is u.s. air strikes in syria and possibly whose missiles to send a message to syrian president bashar al assad. >> ed hadn'try, thank you. >> while the white house continues to hedge its response. britain's top diplomat today was a little more blunt. >> the only possible

explanation of what we have been able to see is that it was a chemical attack. clearly many, many hundreds of people have been killed. some of the estimates are well over a thousand. there is no other plausible explanation for casualties, so intense and such a small area. >> jon: he didn't go as far as the french did yesterday in the possibility of using force. jonathan hunt is live in our new york city newsroom. jonathan, the syrian forces still claim they did not carry out this attack. >> the syrian government interestingly denying that a chemical weapons attack took place but saying as their russian allies have also implied that the attack was carried out by the rebels to gain sympathy and pro-vehicle international intervention there are few who believe that claim. britain, turkey, and france leading the way and pointing fingers pretty directly at the syrian government forces and demanding that those u.n. weapons inspectors who have already arrived in damascus

now be allowed to travel to the site of the alleged attack. but there are few signs tonight, jon, that the syrian government is about to provide those weapons inspectors with safe passage for the admittedly dangerous 15 minute journey. from that hotel to the site of the attack, jon. >> jon: ened at u.n. is giving us a look at how syria's civil war is effects the children there. >> yeah. u.n. officials announcing today that of the 2 million refugees that have fled the fighting in syria, 1 million are children. 1 million children having fled to neighboring countries like turkey, jordan, and lebanon. 1 million children now without hermine, children like these, listen. all i wish is that syria could become peaceful again, that's all i want for the trouble to stop. i love sierra and i miss syria. i loved my friends and playing with my sis is
